Strong manic episode going on there.


You should see it. He's repeated I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place like three times in the email as well as "What do I do *insert PBL group*?". I actually think this guy is bordering on mental.

That's slightly worrying but at the same time awesome.
Good luck with him :tongue:


I'm going to have to restrain myself from ripping into the bone jiggler in next PBL or else he might poison me or kill my dog or something.

Psychosocial crap :sigh:


Bro, we had a health psych teaching us stress relaxation methods. I **** you not, she projected a big beach image, put on music akin to whale song and started the whole "close your eyes, relax your shoulders, go to a relaxing place" mantra in a ridiculous 'relaxing' voice.

I ****ing lost it and couldn't stop giggling. At one point I was holding in my laughs so hard that some weird involuntary noise was emitted from the depths my larynx which made everyone else crack up. I had to dig my fingernails into the palms of my hands to stop me from pissing myself in a silent lecture hall. I couldn't contain it when she told us to relax our jaws.

Sounds like he'd poison your dog..
Keep us updated on the crap he does eh? :tongue:

:rofl:

Sounds like a more extreme version of our 'accelerated learning' SSC where you go there to be hypnotised in your sleep..

Have to wonder why the uni's hire these people..

That GP sounds AWESOME
I hope my CMT teacher is at least half that mad.

I think I would love to be that mad doctor teaching students. It would be so much fun


After a quick google he's actually an Honorary GP Teaching Fellow at Gimperial too...

I've had that so many times. It's so awkward, now instead I hide under the desk and laugh into my coat which I find is quieter and only off putting to those sat next to me who usually don't care.
That said I do find half my year boring as **** - if having any sense of humour / emotions makes you manic, I'd rather be that than blunted affect and depressed...

We don't have these bull**** lessons about relaxation or hypnotherapy

I think because we are a science uni they don't seem to hold truck with this crap.


When do you do Psych?

Finish my psych placement this week, can't wait to finish this woolly crap.

Mad GP


Seems a little odd from what you've said but could be constitutionally weird and/or eccentric.

Are there any other symptoms or signs?

Rhyming, punninng, irritability, pressure of speech, grandiosity, knights move thinking, buying you all coffee, psychotic symptoms?

SMed - 3rd Year, Imperial

Let me know if your status (year, uni) needs changing.


Some how, I'm a 4th year now. :smile:
Original post by crazylemon
5th year I think.
But we had all our psychology lectures last year


Yeah but this stuff seems to come in during Psych.


That said - mindfulness CBT for depression is proven by RCTs to work. So I wouldn't dismiss everything outright - but obviously homeopathy etc ¬_¬ >_<

I like it!

Where are you placed?

In my low security hospital placement - there's definitely nothing woolly about it haha. Some of these people are presenting beautiful textbook symptoms

For those that attend schools that teach these quack 'treatments', do any of you actually try to do anything about? Is there any kind of academic feedback feature to speak against it? I'm not really that vocal when it comes to curriculum at my school, but I would become very vocal if they tried to implement any of this complimentary/alternative "medicine" crap.

I don't know, I've only met him at the one session (plus excessive email correspondence) which I spent most of it like this :lolwut:.

I'll observe a bit more next session I think.
Thanks guys, can't quite believe it

I'm based across several general adult wards with a bit of CMHT on the side. I mean, it's interesting and all but I just don't think I have the patience to do it as a career.

Can't wait to do cardio/resp next term, so much more my style.

Oh yeah, but there's loads of stuff I don't want to do but I don't get frustrated I'm on that rotation haha.

Apart from General surgery haha - but I've already had that rant :p:

Bristol changed their final year last year so that people who fail can resit twice before having to forfeit their F1 place...thus if it all goes well, all the assessments are finished by...today! I have nothing between now and graduation :biggrin: (my elective is in April and is no longer assessed)
